Abstract

Disclosed is a system for manufacturing an electrode for a secondary battery, which includes an active material drying unit configured to dry an active material coated on an electrode current collector, and a tester unit configured to measure a dried state of the active material by performing a scratch test to the dried active material.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A system for manufacturing an electrode for a secondary battery, comprising:
 an active material drying unit configured to dry an active material coated on an electrode current collector; and 
 a tester unit configured to measure a dried state of the active material by performing a scratch test to the dried active material. 
 
     
     
       2. The system for manufacturing an electrode for a secondary battery according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the tester unit measures a force applied to the tester unit when a scratch is generated at the electrode active material. 
 
     
     
       3. The system for manufacturing an electrode for a secondary battery according to  claim 2 , further comprising:
 a control unit configured to control a drying temperature of the drying unit according to a change of the force measured by the tester unit. 
 
     
     
       4. The system for manufacturing an electrode for a secondary battery according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a carrying unit configured to carrying the electrode current collector and the electrode. 
 
     
     
       5. The system for manufacturing an electrode for a secondary battery according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a coating unit configured to coat an electrode active material on the electrode current collector. 
 
     
     
       6. The system for manufacturing an electrode for a secondary battery according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the tester unit includes a scratch tester located on an electrode active material completely dried by the drying unit to generate a scratch on the electrode active material as the electrode moves. 
 
     
     
       7. The system for manufacturing an electrode for a secondary battery according to  claim 6 ,
 wherein the tester unit further includes a rotary shaft connected to the scratch tester and installed so that the scratch tester is rotatable thereon. 
 
     
     
       8. The system for manufacturing an electrode for a secondary battery according to  claim 7 ,
 wherein the tester unit further includes a torque sensor configured to measure a torque applied to the rotary shaft when the scratch is generated. 
 
     
     
       9. The system for manufacturing an electrode for a secondary battery according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a display unit configured to display the dried state of the active material, measured by the tester unit.
